Rivington is just plain terrible, he didnt even bother to learn the playernames for gods sake. Phreak is also terrible and makes stuff up way too much when he has nothing to say, but most people seem to like him, so whatever. They are also a terrible duo because they BOTh have basically nothing useful to say most of the time and then talk themselves into a spiral of awkwardness that ends in someone gobbling like a turkey apparently. gamesound sounded like its being rerecorded from a notebook speaker. the camera was just autocamera with casual redirecting. Plus it was often not in sync with the commentating. Not accaptable, its really not that hard having someone direct the camera based on commentators and minimap. And shorten the pauses between games, do you really need half an hour to plug in mouses and keyboards? We allready have seen organizers do it way faster. | ||

I hope TSM beats Dig today and I really hope CRS beats CLG, but not sure if they can do it. | ||

I personally thought the turkey gobble was the best part of the cast. It's a reference to this! | ||

Curse > CLG - The closest match to call I can see it go either way but my inner Curse fanboy wins out. TSM > Dig - Dig just isnt coordinated enough to beat TSM GGU < Curse - Chance for an upset by GGU but the experience of Curse wins out Vulcan < Dig - I dont see even Dig being able to throw this | ||

Wouldn't been any different, TSM never practices. Just compare their statements to the regular Korean statements after a loss. Koreans always say they will practice harder, TSM always says they will practice. All they do is selling themselves in streams. Good Guy Dyrus, General OddOne, etc., they are really good trademarks, but being funny in solo queue won't get them too far. Obviously they scrim sometimes, but TSM is regarded far the laziest team in NA. Also, Reginald still can't play and won't ever be useful again, but that's not a surprise for anyone. Dying with Kha'Zix with 2 long swords vs a Ryze with only tear? Like really? Typical Regi mentality that he tries to pick up the actual "OP" champions, but he's just bad. Gragas, TF, Diana, Kayle, Kha... he even failed with the IPL 5 facewrecker Diana. He was like 90 cs behind Link, while even HotShot crawled back to Dyrus in CS numbers. The funniest thing (maybe in tie with the 1000 ELO fail Kha'Zix jump) was when he flashed into Doublelift even though he was already in AA range. Like what the hell, did no one tell Regi Kayle is ranged when she activates her E? He did it twice, though one time he might flashed to Q him, I can't quite recall, but still, terrible. Regi has to step down (he won't) or at least play champions he is actually comfortable with (unlikely), and TSM has to finally live up to all their "WE WILL PRACTICE MORE GUYS" promises. So annoying seeing them acting on their streams (compare "streamOddOne" to "I'm in state of the league OddOne so I won't say a single word because I'm afraid, and if you mention Saint's name I will quit"), crushed in tournaments, then making excuses and promises. That's why I like Curse: if they suck they just plainly and simply say they suck. They are lazy as well, but the individual members are forcing each other to practice hard because they actually care and are annoyed that they perform bad. Maybe they do it in a Cursey Shore manner, but who cares, it's still more constructive. Fun Fact: they dropped TRM for not agreeing with the stricter practice regime. That guy could still outperform Regi any day (not that it's hard or something, just saying) on mid lane and could be much more useful. Yes, even with his AP/Hybrid Teemo (which Regi tried as well, but... oh well, of course he failed). | ||

I hope TSM beats Dig today and I really hope CRS beats CLG, but not sure if they can do it. Me too. =( Probably won't make that mistake again. But I think there's no way Curse WON'T beat CLG. It'll be close, but CRS so gewd. | ||

Not very different with the Doran's Blade start coming from Chaox. Perhaps he was expecting to 2v1, but it was really greedy with an Urgot Taric lane on the other team and no 'true' sustain on yours. You can't outsustain that with just doran blade's 5 lifeonhit. | ||

Although, I think their problems and laziness is not as harsh as you make it out to be - but that's probably because I am a TSM fanboy. I found myself happy with Regi's retirement. I think all their other roles are pretty solid. Someone said it here and I have heard it before - When Regi does well, TSM does well, when Regi does poorly, TSM does poorly. It's kinda true. Rarely do they win games where Regi isn't doing well. I really think if they got a new mid and let TheOddOne or Xspecial call the shots, they would improve a lot. | ||
